The Purpose Of Life

Humans are perplexed with one simple question, " What is the purpose of life". Then of course, they personalize it and ask. " What is my purpose in life". It is a question that has been thought upon for generations before us and for generations to come. Many people miss the essence and beauty of their existence because they spend all their time engaged in this one particular concern. A purpose is a draining phenomena and causes much unnecessary stress on the human body, mind, psyche, and spirit. Most spend their entire lives trying to solve the "purpose of life" mystery that when the time comes for earthly-to-spirit transformation (physical death) they leave behind not only an empty shell for a body but also an empty unfulfilled spirit consisting of a lifetime of unanswered and unsolved puzzles. The very act of searching for a purpose will assure that you will never find it.

The human species is much too assertive in its relationship with nature and the energetic flux of existence. The biggest problem humanity faces is that they have not learned to surrender to reality. If you wish to witness the biggest mishaps then you can take a look at the human race. When seen from the viewpoint of the whole, where human energy and all else in existence is One, then all is in perfect balance because as we have all learned, every Yang has its Yin counterpart and it all forms a cohesive and inseparable unity where humans are but one tiny aspect. But when humans isolate themselves and break away from The Whole, The One, The Tao (which they excel at quite well incidentally), we are looking at the great human failure.

So what is the real purpose of life ? Some say it is to help others.......then spend their time concentrating only on themselves. Some say it is to experience and express love.......a love they have no idea or clue about. Some say it is to help all species extend their lives to their fullest potential.......and then kill everything in sight from plants and animals to their own physical and spiritual selves. Let us look at various other purposes. The purpose of a family is tradition and the carrying forward of familial blood-lines. The purpose of religion is to submit to a person who tries to convince us that he/she is close to the Creator. The purpose of business is money. The purpose of politics is domination and control. And the list goes on. The institution in question must have a purpose or the organization will break down. Without a purpose there can be no establishment or structure. Without a definite purpose the organization cannot exist. However.......without a single human invented purpose, life will continue to flourish and flow in its abundance. In truth, the less purpose there is the more smoothly the universal energy flows. Purpose cannot in any way alter the universal waxing and waning. The Sun will always shine and the Moon will always glow whether there is purpose or not. The Stars will forever rotate in the heavens and this cosmic dance cannot be affected by a silly purpose that humanity is hung up on. Again, the truth is that a forced purpose can only diminish this beauty. Would it not be lovely to experience as effortlessly and beautifully as the cosmos. Well, it can never happen as long as we remain attached to a purpose.

So what is the true purpose of life ? ? ?

THERE IS NONE.
